I, too, am out of energy and ambition. At least I get to sit on the patio and listen to the birds while I'm (not) doing it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

fucking hell.

I just got a call today saying I'm supposed to report to my new school (School Z), the one I'm working at in the fall, on Monday. Even though the principal at school A told me I was supposed to come back to her school on monday and I left stuff there and I am mid project.

Sigh.

Clusterfuck.

But, on the upside, just got back from Book Expo. I missed out on the ARC of Gaiman's new book which made me sad, but otherwise, I'm pleased with the amount of books I hauled home. Should be enough reading for the summer.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I lost my motivation to clean anything about 20 years ago. Is there somewhere to buy that kind of thing?

I'm glad Book Expo was fun. I don't suppose you can put off one of the principals, Kat?

Kat, were there lots of YA books being given out? Trying to decide whether to go tomorrow for my juvie friends...

A fair amount, GC. The other books I missed was the graphic novel Plain Jane (being given at the DC Comics booth at a signing at 2) and copies of the follow up to the Mysterious Benedict Society which my kids love love love.

Burrell, I sent an email to the the HR people for both schools and the principals saying, "Wait. I was told something else. Where am I supposed to be?"
